Sandgap, Kentucky
Sandgap, Kentucky

Sandgap is a Jackson county community about six miles northwest of McKee. It was established in the nineteenth century and named for a small gap in a nearby ridge. Settlement probably began before the middle of the nineteenth century with a brief population boom in the 1930s due to coal mining.

A Collingsworth or Collinsworth post office opened nearby in 1886 and was renamed Sand Gap in 1902.
